V-Gram Newsletters - how to get access to them?

[hans]

Hi Gang,

I wondered about the old formula V air racing "V-Gram" newsletters, did they cover technical matters pertaining to racing and improving the planes - or was it merely a periodical that listed racing results?

If the former is true, I'd like to get access to this documentation. I've found only a single one on the internet (#595, dedicated to the rememberance of Steve & Paula Wittman). I wonder if additional issues are available?

cheers

Hans.....I have a 'sporatic' collection of the old V- Grams.......It is not complete, as I lost a bunch in a fire....
The V-gram was an organizational newsletter, to stir up, keep up, interest in formula V racing, and to promote races/race sites, and did NOT really cover technical matters pertaining to racing VW engines and making airplane improvements.
Most of us who were involved did not make public our 'improvements'...we were competing with each other!!
You would have a hard time finding someone from the old group that has saved all of it, or who would be willing to make it available if they had it. ......Ed F.

Hi Ed,

thanks for your feedback. Based on your description, I'm not missing out a lot then, as I'm really interested in learning more about the technical stuff at my current rookie stage...

cheers
